Directions

Heat the oven to 400°. Cut the tough ends off the asparagus and discard them. Cut the spears into 1-inch pieces. Put the asparagus on a baking sheet and toss with the oil and 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, put the vinegar in a small saucepan. Simmer until 3 tablespoons remain. Stir in the brown sugar and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove from the heat.
Cook the penne in a large pot of boiling, salted water until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss with the butter, vinegar, asparagus, Parmesan, chicken and the salt. Serve with additional Parmesan.

I am mom to three absolutely adorable kiddos and wife to an amazing hubby, who are my first loves. My second love, other than chocolate, is Pinterest. Pinterest provides a little "out" when I need a breather from my crazy but wonderful job as wife, mother, and taxi driver to my family. I started I Dig Pinterest in 2013 to share creative pin-spiration with you! I hope you will stop by often for lots of simple crafts (for adults and kids), delicious recipes, DIY home decor, party ideas and more!
